Adventure 1: Tracking Down Darwin
Posted: Thu Jul 11, 2019 12:37 pm
Serina Stargazer one of the highest members of the white council at Castle Refugee sent a team of special wild card operatives to track down Darwin Nethios, a cult leader. Not much was known about him, other than Erin Tarin herself beseeched the Tomorrow Legion to find him before something terrible happened.
The team located Darwin and his Doomsayers at the bottom of a well concealed gorge. Rocks and a thick tree line nearly concealed its entrance. A leyline ran across the south part of it. Artillery fire would have an awful time targeting from a long distance, and besides if you fired from long range he would probably escape as you had found out previously in the baronies . Two tents marked where many of the cultists were. They were waging a pitched magic and laser blast fire fight against a squad of skelebots, and a MK III heavy APC all terrain vehicle. Overhead coming from the south was a squadron of 4 SAMAS in a staggered formation. The lead SAMAS was all red, it had a light rail gun a bit bigger and polished than most. It also wielded vibro vambraces instead of a vibrosword. Radar was a bit spotty this far down so it was unknown if more CS troops were on there way. Darwin was nowhere to be seen.
With the sun having set about an hour ago the gorge the team had wandered into filled with deep pockets of darkness that play tricks in the starlight. Its was if something in those shadows was moving towards the group!

That was where you came in. A designated member of the X SET, you have been hot on Darwin and his cult’s tale for weeks. Chasing him through the ruins of Tolkeen was especially fun, only not really as he consistently slipped through your grasp s he pursued artifact after artifact. You almost had him cornered up in the colorado baronies only to have him and his followers mysteriously disappear. Given his penchant to keep one step ahead of you he was rumored to be a mystic. Two things were for certain…. One he is targeting magical items and artifacts, and two, you finally got him cornered at a leyline…. Only so did the CS!The team located Darwin and his Doomsayers at the bottom of a well concealed gorge. Rocks and a thick tree line nearly concealed its entrance.

Over the Mark III’s loud speaker a smooth voice came, like listening to milk chocolate over the radio, “ This is Commander Mac Maverick the second, I will need all D-bees and magic users to lay down their arms and prepare for processing.” Not a bad start. Finding such a reasonable CS officer while rare was a nice surprise. But then the Medium sized vehicular railgun a top the black APC chewed through three cultists like Swiss cheese. The easy voice laughed, “ Or not…. Haha, we should just tape your weapons to your hands so we can kill you all…. Hahaha…”With the sun having set about an hour ago the gorge the team had wandered into filled with deep pockets of darkness that play tricks in the starlight.
